The Simple Life with Gary Collins

Frank Larkin is a former Navy SEAL and so was his son Ryan, who died by suicide in 2017. As part of his commitment to the Warrior Call initiative, Larkin says he wants to educate people about undiagnosed physical injuries to the brain that warriors may suffer during their service, as with Ryan, that can spark a downward spiral.

Larkin has served as a Navy SEAL, as a Maryland State Trooper-Flight Paramedic, as a special agent for 21 years in the U.S. Secret Service rising to deputy assistant director and chief technology officer, and for nearly four years as the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms. He also served as a senior leader in the Department of Defense's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, the combat support agency tasked with countering IED's and extremist organizations employing them against U.S. forces, and in senior positions at Raytheon Corp., Lockheed Martin Corp. and SAP National Security Services. He volunteers as a firefighter-paramedic with the Annapolis, Maryland, Fire Department.

About the Warrior Call organization:

WHO IS WARRIOR CALL:

We are a network of former active-duty service members and veterans, their friends and families whose aim is to save lives and curtail suicides among those who served the nation

WHAT WE DO:

We spur greater connection. We make calls to warriors -- to veterans and service members who may be isolated and disconnected from services. We steer them to services. We encourage all Americans to make these warrior calls. Together, we save lives.

WHY WARRIOR CALL IS ESSENTIAL:

Many of those who are suffering are not seeking help or treatment, thus reinforcing the need for a call to these warriors from a former battle buddy, friend or family member.

Up to two-thirds of veterans who take their own lives have had no contact with the Department of Veterans Affairs. 


The COVID pandemic has only increased isolation and disconnection. 


According to the VA, researchers have identified social isolation as "arguably the strongest and most reliable predictor of suicidal ideation, [suicide] attempts and lethal suicidal behavior." 


Invisible wounds linked to an underlying and undiagnosed traumatic brain injury can mirror many mental health conditions, underscoring the need to connect with service members and veterans and steer them to services. 
The rapid unraveling of Afghanistan has spurred anguish and frustration among those who served there.

HOW YOU CAN HELP – MAKE A WARRIOR CALL:

Whether you are a veteran, active-duty service member, national guard, family member or friend, you can make a difference by connecting with someone who is wearing or who has worn the uniform. Connecting can facilitate honest dialogue, create a desire to stay in contact and help define a viable path forward.

Here’s what to do:

1) Make a call and connection to a warrior.


2) Have an honest conversation. See how they are doing.


3) Connect them with Vets4Warriors, a clearinghouse for resources. Their contact information is 1-855-838- 8255 and www.vets4warriors.com

Make sure to check out my book and learn how to do more with less: The Simple Life Guide to Decluttering Your Life

https://thesimplelifenow.com/product/guide-to-decluttering-your-life-softcover/

Yes, we live in a crazy world today, but are we self-inflicting a lot of our own pain? I would say 100% yes! I always say: "focus on the things you can change and ignore the rest." But a lot of people today don't know what to truly focus on to make their life simpler and better.

Instead of focusing on what is really important in our life, we focus on the periphery that, in most cases, has nothing to do with us. We get sucked into the vortex of more is better, more noise and people complaining, another pair of shoes, another nic-nac, another car we can't afford... it just goes on and on and on.

So what is the answer? Today I will dig into how to gain freedom by eliminating the things that are not important. Remember, we are only here for a limited time, so make the best of it.

Topics Discussed:

* My simple yet effective morning routine to decompress.

* Are you less free or only more confined by your voluntary behavior.

* How to be truly free in a world of chaos and strife.

* How to focus on the things that are important and ignore the rest.

* Why decluttering your mind is the key to sanity and freedom.

* A simple way to get started.

* Why most people have no clue what individual freedom truly is.

* What is free will and why there seems to be a war against it.

* Being a contrarian - when everyone is zigging you zag.

In the words of that great hairband, Whitesnake, "Here we go again." When it comes to The 2nd Amendment and gun control, well, it is a bit polarizing to say the least. Most, may not know this, but I have been around firearms since age 7 to include 20 years in the military and law enforcement. Before some of you call me a racist and gun-toting redneck, hold on a second, you may be a little surprised by my position on the subject.

I firmly believe, we need to have a rational conversation on the subject that makes sense to most. You can never satisfy everyone, so "most" is the closest you are going to get on any subject, let alone gun control.

Today, I give you my common-sense solution to the problem that I think most could understand and get behind. I'm tired of insider trading politicians and purple-haired nut jobs telling the rest of us how it should be. Interestingly, the people who have the least experience on the subject seem to scream the loudest.

So let's cut the noise and get down to the facts that make sense to the people who actually live in reality. I know a crazy idea these days, but I think it is important, as we will never solve the problem by two sides pushing extreme views on the subject.

Topics Discussed:

* A little perspective from me having over 4 decades of experience with firearms.

* What is the gun debate really about?

* Will banning guns lower violence rates?

* Why we have a mental illness and family breakdown problem in this country.

* Just because you are 18 and the military doesn’t mean you have 24 hour access to weapons.

* Why those the most responsible for your freedom and safety have by far the most training with firearms.

* Would the world end if an 18 year old had to wait a couple years to purchase a few select firearms.

* Why 9mm round doesn’t blow your lungs out - stupid people say stupid things.

* Whether you like it or not the 2nd Amendment protects you against a tyrannical government, just read some history.

* Why I believe firearms training for everyone is important.

There is no free lunch in this world, especially when it involves the government. Today, we have yet another financial crisis looming: outstanding college loan debt, which is estimated to be in the range of 1.8 trillion. I have a little experience in this area as I have three degrees, which I paid for the most part on my own, and I had this crazy thing called a job while enrolled in classes for all three. In addition, I was a college professor for a while at a private institution. So I have seen and been involved in this debacle from both sides of the fence.

You may ask yourself, what does this have to do with you? Well, at this moment we are experiencing record-high inflation and government debt, which I will tell you is not a good combination. By bailing out people, who lack the ability to think and plan properly, then rack up endless student loan debt is not going to help. Matter of fact, that will pump more funny money into the economy, thus causing more inflation. And you should also ask, why should you be responsible for someone's college loan debt? That is a very important question to ask, I believe.

Today, Rob Kendall and I (who also paid his own way through college) discuss what this is all about. Not only that, we give solutions, especially for those who want to go to college, but do it responsibly without racking up life burdening debt.

The key is to make the right financial moves, and ignore most of the advice the financial institutions and federal government are telling us, as they do not have your best interests at heart.

Rob Kendall is the co-host of the Kendall and Casey Show heard 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST on 93.1 WIBC Radio, Indianapolis. Prior to joining WIBC, Rob served as an elected official for the Town of Brownsburg, where he proudly claims massive tax cuts and government reform as his greatest accomplishments.

Topics Discussed:

* How bad really is the student loan crisis.

* How will a bailout of student loans affect you.

* Is this just a way to buy votes instead of taking care of the problem?

* Why you are the one responsible for your debts not the taxpayer and definitely not the government.

* How did the federal government cause college education tuition to skyrocket.

* Why everyone does not need to go to college.

* Why college should never be free.

* How to go to college responsibility and without racking up student loan debt.

Today, I bring back to the show oil expert Bill Herrick to bring us up to date on why gas prices are so damn high, and going higher! Bill will also tell us where gas prices are expected to go in the near and not so near future. Is there hope for $2.50 a gallon gas again? What can we do about these high prices, and should you start looking for a really cool ten-speed bike to get your ass to work!

We are hearing a lot about what is causing sky-high oil and gas prices; Putin, Covid, your cat... but what is really the truth? Politicians and media pundits have gone from Covid experts to oil experts. Hey, just go out and buy a $60,000 (that is a cheap one) electric car, they say. They are full of a lot of things, but mainly bullsh*t! Today, I do this crazy thing and bring on an actual expert in the oil and gas industry, as in he actually works in it. I know a foreign concept these days. We get to the bottom of the high price of oil and gas today, exploration, production, and dispel all the false information being floated around by people who don't know their head from you know what.

Topics Discussed:

* Why does gas cost so damn much!

* Who is to blame for high gas prices?

* Why this administration is making the problem worse instead of better.

* Why the midterms elections will not fix this problem.

* Where are gas prices going in the near future?

* How you should be preparing for increased inflation?

* Why inflation numbers are much higher than you think.

* Why some parts of country are going to experience brown and black outs this summer.

* Why the cost of energy controls many things you do in life.

* Why does diesel cost so much more than regular gas today.

Welcome to another episode of "Ask Gary Anything." This is where you, the audience, get to send in your questions about anything, and I will answer them. That is right, you heard it... anything, because that is how I roll! On a fairly regular basis I pick questions sent to me from my ever growing list, and answer them on this podcast.

If you want to have your question(s) considered, simply fill out the contact form on my website www.thesimplelifenow.com, or better yet become a member of "The Simple Life Insider's Circle" link is at the bottom of the show notes. Today, we have some great questions:

1. (Geoff S) Do you have a bug out plan, and if so what do you think are the essential considerations /components? If not, why not?

2. (Kristy P) Do you or any of your friends suffer from tinnitus? If so, how do you cope? (I know this is a common ailment for veterans. Other than white noise, which isn’t always feasible, none of the DIY solutions seem to work. I have tried limiting salt/caffeine, supplements, acupuncture, and a hearing aid (for a trial period of 3 months). Therapy is expensive and not covered by insurance.)

3. (Ben L) What are your thoughts on liability waivers for events on private property?

Details:

Often in the permaculture movement, land owners host workshops that invite people they don't personally know and require visitors to sign waivers.

Do you recommend any templates or key points to include in drafting such a document, assuming you'd want a final review/edit by a legal professional?

Over the years working with clients and athletes one on one, I have dealt with the question "how do I add muscle while on the Paleo Diet" numerous times. A listener of the show recently sent me this exact same question for the Ask Gary Anything segments, and I realized I hadn't addressed this ever in The Simple Life with Gary Collins Podcast. So I decided to dedicate an entire episode to this question, as it is a common one when people dig into the Paleo diet and dial in their eating habits and the Paleo lifestyle. To my women listeners, don't think this doesn't apply to you, as it does, but you will have to listen to the episode to understand why.

I know for most, this seems like a strange question: Why would it be so hard to add muscle mass while eating Paleo? Once I explain the reason(s), I guarantee there will be a "lightbulb" moment for most.

Topics Discussed:

* A quick recap - what is the Paleo Diet?

* Why it is so dang hard gaining weight on the Paleo Diet.

* Why our bodies are much wiser than we think they are.

* Why building muscle is important for women just not men.

* Why sometimes you have to trick your body to get it to do what you want.

* A brief discussion on the 1st leg of the Three-Legged Stool of The Simple Life.

* Why resistance training is so important.

* Why lifting weights is for men and women.

* Why building muscle when you are a women doesn’t mean turning into the Hulk.

I have said on many occasions that no matter what the real estate and financial talking heads are saying, there is a housing market bubble, and it will be the worst we have ever seen. Another transfer of wealth from hardworking Americans to the morally corrupt political and financial institutions is imminent.

So what can we do about it? I have lived through three boom/bust housing markets, and the best way to avoid getting caught in the crash is to recognize the signs. Blindly following what the real estate and financial institutions are telling is a sure way to lose a lot of money in a hot market. I have learned never to chase a hot market, and sell when it is hot, not when it is not.

I have heard the same thing in all three hot markets I have lived through... "this one is different." No, they are not, now, some of the circumstances causing the hot market and subsequent bust may be different, but the cycle is always the same... there are a whole bunch of losers and a very small amount of winners.

So how do you avoid this housing bubble trap? Well, Rob Kendall and I dig into the facts and let you know what your moves should be, and what to expect in the near future.

For those who don't know, I have been in real estate for 25 years, so I just don't spout about this as some controversial subject. I have been there; I have lost some, but won much more than the average Joe. I hope this educates people so they can avoid being fleeced by the corrupt financial institutions and housing market in general.

The second leg in The Three-Legged Stool of The Simple Life is Financial Freedom. The key to Financial Freedom is not following the herd to indentured servitude of lifelong debt. Today Rob Kendall and I discuss, the storm that is coming in the housing market and a future recession. We both firmly believe they are unavoidable, the debt is due and someone is going to have to pay for it!

The key is to make the right financial moves, and ignore most of the advice the financial institutions and federal government are telling us, as they do not have your best interests at heart.

Rob Kendall is the co-host of the Kendall and Casey Show heard 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST on 93.1 WIBC Radio, Indianapolis. Prior to joining WIBC, Rob served as an elected official for the Town of Brownsburg, where he proudly claims massive tax cuts and government reform as his greatest accomplishments.

Topics Discussed:

* Why, when the financial and real estate institutions tell you “this one is different” get ready to hold on to your wallet!

* How this “housing bubble” has been forming even prior to Covid.

* Why we are in a bubble that has far worse factors involved than the housing bubble of 2008/2009.

* Why you should never buy anything on credit based upon the monthly payment.

* Why the rental market is going to explode in the near future.
